Trade him for Kyries Hebert... then our LB problem is somewhat addressed, and Hebert can come back to where it all started, win a Grey Cup and retire on top!

I do very much understand business. What did Vegas just pay for an expansion team?? $500 million. That was the NHL setting the benchmark for what a team is worth. So yes, they probably would have sold it for that, as Bettman wouldn't have let it go for less. The deals that were in place with the City of Glendale made the deal palatable, even for a team losing money, as the risk wasn't totally on the owners to pay rent on the building. Anyways.... it didn't happen, so it's not even worth debating on a hypothetical situation. Unrelated.... if you haven't seen the 30 for 30 special called 'Big Shot' about John Spano purchasing the Islanders.... watch it! It's awesome. Guy almost pulled off a deal to own the Islanders, and had ZERO money!

For those who knocked them about trying to buy the Coyotes... had they pulled it off, and flipped it to someone else for $500 million... would they still be idiots? It was a pure attempt and a quick buck, Bettman saw it, and shut it down. You can't blame them for trying. the difference between trying to buy an NHL team, and expansion for a CFL team. Hundrededs of millions. And no gain for the group if it doesn't work. Knock it if you like... but you don't understand business if you do.

just cause Hall has a contract for next year, doesn't mean he'll still be around..... come on... we're the franchise that not long ago had 3 Head Coaches on our payroll at the same time. If there's 1 year left on his deal, paying that out is peanuts if it means getting us over the hump. But you can bring in a new co-ordinator. If Sam Hurl is still our MLB, it'll still be a battle out there!

Eskis @ Bombers: Playoffs Are Here / Raise Expectations
trueBlue83 replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
looking back, I really don't know what led me to make the decision I did.... I mean, it's a nice jacket and all... but it's still green. Must have been something else green in the system at that time! -
Eskis @ Bombers: Playoffs Are Here / Raise Expectations
trueBlue83 replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Just please don't wear green.... no one wants to see that today. I have a green winter jacket (hell no, not Rider green) and I hadn't to go buy something new yesterday because it was too close to Eskie green. Couldn't do it! -
Any clue where were at in terms of tickets sold?? I had heard over 27K Friday morning... hoping we're over 30 now???

Eskis @ Bombers: Playoffs Are Here / Raise Expectations
trueBlue83 replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I have a feeling if Lankford starts, he's gonna rip off an early deep ball for a TD! Our offence so badly needs a play like that to boost the confidence and get the crowd into it right away! Maybe a fake Dressler sweep, into a long bomb! -
right out of the Buck Pierce playbook! That was even against the Eskies I believe, the year we last went to the Grey Cup!!!
-
O'Shea and his little bag o' irish tricks.... I think this is all part of the chess match! I hope.... EDIT: Get Chris Garrett on the phone and get him up here with his magic shoes!!
-
haha, that's my buddy... he's working up north, or he'd be there Sunday. His wife is coming though! I'm in the back next to Obby in the Blue toque (which I need to find before Sunday!)

Thanks Rich!! I'm too old school I guess!

it says 'insert existing attachment' , but it's just a blank box. Is there somewhere else I go to load the image to my profile? it's from my hard drive, so there is no URL.
-
that was an awesome time.... how do I upload a picture onto here that doesn't have a web link??
-
Still no update on ticket sales??? are we at least over 28K??
-
Umm, Wally?? But to be fair, you may have left him out because he's not even near this conversation for COY.

Blue Bombers and 680 CJOB Announce Partnership Extension
trueBlue83 replied to TrueBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
you just went and answered you own question.... radio stations generate revenue on advertising... if it's that cheap, it's cause they're having trouble selling. Completely unrelated.... nothing can ever top the days of the Mike Kelly Show.... that was can't miss radio! -
Blue Bombers and 680 CJOB Announce Partnership Extension
trueBlue83 replied to TrueBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
way late to the party, busy day.... so apologies if it's been said. But I feel like this is on Bob's terms. A 3 year extension with option every year after. And if he's got Trouba's agent..... he got PAID!!! -
one can only wonder why Duron Carter got into it with him at practice.... he was probably biting his tongue all season, and it got to the point where there wasn't much left! who am I kidding... Duron Carter bite his tongue?
-
checked out mentally because he never gets thrown the ball?? he was effective in the Red Zone early in the season... but we haven't been scoring TD's on offence for a month and a half, and that was the only time he was getting thrown to, was in the Red Zone. It's no secret that Dressler & Harris are Nichols favourite targets, and rarely goes elsewhere (post Adams injury)

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
trueBlue83 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Ugh.... get rid of the one from the Bills game. Didn't that guy die from that fall? -
Add 10% to teams in the West, and take away that 30 from the Argos and its more viable, That chart was made IN Toronto, no question!
-
That would be some sad a** trivia question. He's barely got his feet wet and people wanna run him out of town.... geez. Adams wasn't stellar his first while as a Bomber... have some patience. So you're saying Davis has no arm!? Sure isn't what I've seen. Accuracy needs work, but he's got the best arm in our stable as far as power goes!

It's the playoffs and it's easier to watch an NFL game?
